I walked back and forth along the edge of the laboratory, my hands clasped behind my back, observing Dr. Elio as he eagerly mixed chemicals in their respective bottles. The laboratory was crowded with machines and wires, and a strong, awful smell from the chemicals made my stomach churn in discomfort.

My gaze scanned the rows of countless steel cages, where wolves, once free and proud, were now confined under their captor's cruel gaze.

The tag on one red wolf's fur read, "ColdValley Pack." The red she-wolf continued to resist the tight chain around her neck and four feet, refusing to give up her strength after six months in captivity. Despite being injected with Moon Pearl seed serums designed to weaken wolves, she remained the strongest.

The other wolves drew strength from her resilience, showing their resistance. She was their source of strength; if she broke, they all would.

Lord Raven Dark targeted her specifically.

    Alpha ZedexI paced anxiously in Grandpa's wooden chamber, surrounded by fire sticks hanging on the wall and a faint smell of old wood. The sound of my heartbeats and footsteps echoed off the walls. Grandpa lay on the bed, motionless, as fear crawled to my heart. He had been my rock for years, and I couldn't bear the idea of losing him.Two days had passed since Grandpa fell into a coma, but the pack physician's reassurance brought me some solace. However, this was the first time I had seen Grandpa seriously ill, and the idea of losing him due to my carelessness filled me with fear.I tried to remain composed. ‘Grandpa will be fine,’ I told myself. As Alpha, staying strong was crucial for me. However, my internal turmoil raged on. The memories of the human girl flooded my mind, fueling my anger.‘How could she have lied to me!’ I seethed inwardly. ‘Now I feel like tearing her apart.’ My hand clenched. ‘It's all because of her that Grandpa was in this state.’I shook my head in refusa

    Alpha ZedexLan's eyes filled with concern. "Brother, what's that bulge?" His voice trembled.I hastily left Grandpa's chamber without hesitation as a fierce sensation coursed through my body and veins, threatening to tear me apart. It was becoming unbearable.As I made my way to my chamber, I frantically tore off my shirt, thankfully unseen by any pack member. Otherwise, they would have assumed I had lost my mind, as my body was drenched in sweat and my carefully styled black gel hair was now disheveled and sticking to my face.The pain became increasingly difficult to bear, so I picked up my pace, struggling to run due to the large bulge between my legs. Zov, my inner wolf, was not making it easy for me, as he continued to struggle to break free, and I began to feel vulnerable to his strength.Without hesitation, I transformed into a large black wolf and quickly made my way to my chamber.I entered my room quickly, saliva dripping from my lolling tongue. Mogan was pacing around but

    CamilaI ran hastily, as I carefully tip-toed towards the door. My heart was pounding hard against my chest, as I cautiously peeked outside to check my surroundings. My gaze met with the darkness of the night, and I could hear a song of birds and crickets everywhere. 'Where on earth is this place?' My heart raced as I struggled to find my way through the darkness.I saw no guards or any security outside my dungeon; it felt like a stroke of luck was on my side for this escape. I cautiously exited the dungeon, keeping a watchful eye on my surroundings. I breathed out in relief, and my shoulders dropped as the cold breeze hit my skin. I noticed some leaves shaking gently and looked up to the sky to see dark clouds flashing lightning. The wind intensified suddenly, and I realized it was about to rain."This is my chance of freedom," I thought, tightening my grip on my fist, determined to take advantage of the rain to run away unnoticed. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. However, wh

    CamilaHis eyebrows shot up in surprise, as if he hadn't been the one to summon me. In an instant, he replaced his expression with a cold, menacing glare that penetrated my very being. A wave of hot liquid spread down my thigh, causing me to instinctively clutch my legs together. The humiliating realization dawned on me - I had lost control of my bladder.He stalked towards me, his movement menacing like a predator closing in on its prey. Before I could react, his hand firmly gripped my neck, his sharp nails digging into my flesh, raising my head to meet his intense gaze. Blood trickled from the wounds he inflicted as he choked me."Do my face disgust you?!" he bellowed in anger. I quickly shook my head, but he tightened his grip further. "How dare you?!""Let me go..." I struggled to speak, my hands hitting his strong hand.I was suffocated, sensing my life slipping away with each passing second. His angry gaze was intense, radiating heat. His eyes filled with rage and hatred, causi

    Alpha Zedex"Come in!" My voice came out in a gravelly ramble from the excessive howling all through the night.I stood naked with my hands clasped behind my back, my brows furrowed as I tried to understand Mogan's words.Mogan briefly pulsed, "But..." He trailed off, not wanting to interrupt anything happening in my chamber.I could see him now, scratching the back of his head in confusion."Now!" My voice was loud and commanding.In an instant, he rushed in and quickly knelt down, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground.“Max is instigating rebellion; he was supported by Troy, Full Mountain pack’s Alpha,” he reported again.I chuckled, my lips curling into a smirk.‘Max never learns,’ I said, shaking my head and letting out a dry laugh.He looked up at me, puzzled by my laughter in such a serious situation involving Troy.Mogan hesitated, his eyes darting around the floor, "The commotion in the meeting chamber was...""Mogan, go to bed," I interrupted, turning to face him.I grabbed a

    Alpha ZedexI turned away from the elder councils, anger simmering within, as their betrayal stung; they had sided with Troy my sworn enemy, to remove me from the throne. It was frustrating that they would align with someone who has always opposed Vermillion's rule and been against us for years.And now he was manipulating Max. I could almost imagine the shock on Max’s when he realized, Troy’s true intentions.I need to go see Grandpa and talk to him about what Max did. ‘I hope he doesn't dwell on the situation too much, especially since the pack physician warned against it.’ I thought and sighed.My shoulders drooped as I made my way through the castle hallway, each step heavy with weariness and doubts. I could only hope that everything would turn out okay.Finally, I stopped in front of Grandpa's chamber. Taking a deep breath, I exhaled slowly, steadied my chest, and pushed the door open.“Zedex, what commotions is going on? I couldn’t sleep all through the night.” Grandpa shrieked,

    CamilaI fluttered my eyes open and let out a loud yawn, raising my palms to cover my mouth, only to notice I couldn’t move them. They were heavy and sore. ‘Where was I?’ My gaze wandered around the unfamiliar room, surrounded by plain creamy-pitch-colored walls.A severe headache hit me suddenly, and I gently massaged my head, trying to relieve the throbbing pain while memories of the previous night came flooding back: desperate to escape, surrounded by wild wolves, rescued by an elderly woman, and…Alpha Zedex’s fierce sex.‘His scar was horrible. What happened to his face?’Strangely, my cheeks flushed, warmth spreading across my face like a burning fire. I quickly raised my hand to touch my face. ‘Wait, I'm blushing? Why the heck am I blushing?’ I slightly hit my forehead, scolding myself mentally.Suddenly, I began hearing whispers behind the closed door; it sounded like someone was arguing outside.“She’s awake?”“Of course, she looks stronger than most of us.”“Even if she’s aw

I was surrounded by werewolves, and I had even slept with the master of them all, not once but twice.‘Gosh, I'm screwed!’ I thought, my mind reeling as I tried to process everything. A mix of confusion, fear, and disbelief overwhelmed me. How could this be happening? ‘How is this possible?’ I blinked rapidly, still trying to process the situation.Tyla then came and stood in front of me, giving me a gentle tap on the shoulder. "It's time for a bath," she said.I turned to her, alert etched on my face. "You're an animal too? Like a wild wolf?" I stammered, my voice quivering as I pointed my trembling fingers at her.Tyla’s eyes narrowed. "Did you just call me an animal?" she asked, raising her hand and pointing at herself."Yes!" I shouted, tears welling up in the corners of my eyes. "You're all heartless and cruel animals. That's why you slaughtered the prisoners in cold blood."Tears flowed freely

    Zedex "Three... I—" I couldn't finish what I had to say, suddenly Emery and Madison slumped to the ground. They let out a raspy, guttural sound, as they clung to their chests, with blood gushing from their mouths and noses.'Even the cake was poisoned?' My gaze was fixed on Madison, as he was already struggling to breathe, his chest rising and falling in rapid breaths.My gaze averted to the variety of food on my table. 'That means everything here was poisoned.'Troy rushed to Elder Emery and held him in his arms while screaming his name. "Elder Emery! You can't just die... hold on, I will get the pack physician this minute."His voice was breaking down, as a few drops of tears flipped out of his eyes. Elder Emery shook his head, struggling to say a word; however, he uttered a harsh, hacking sound, coughing out more blood."Guards! Bring in the Pack Physician this instant!" His voice raged out in fear and desperation.It was said that Elder Emery was the beta of Troy's father, back d

    Zedex POV“Hayaah…” I exhaled softly and tapped on the tip of the cup, requesting more tea. Mogan stared at me, hesitating again, pleading with his eyes for me not to take any more tea. I nodded, smiling, staring at the guests' faces, which looked like their eyes would pop out from their sockets."Mogan, more tea," I voiced out, urging him with my eyes to do as he was told."Alpha, please don't hurt yourself by taking the poisoned tea," Sally and the rest of my guards pleaded behind me.Mogan sighed as his shoulders dropped; however, this time, he bent the kettle sideways, like the first time, and filled my small cup again. I picked it up and gulped it down again.The Alphas couldn't believe their eyes, like what was unfolding in front of them. Their once shocked expression was now replaced with confusion as they stared at each other.Troy quickly regained his composure, as he seethed, "Alpha Zedex! Are we a joke to you? How dare you accuse my Pack of poisoning your tea?" he yelled.“

    ZedexMy lips curved into a soft smirk, as I scoffed loudly, rolling my eyes. I clenched my fists, trying to suppress the rage bubbling within me, as I seethed, almost regretting why I had come to Full Mountain Pack myself. I could have asked Mogan to handle the transfer, hence Max wouldn't have had this chance to provoke me.However, I shoved it off, like always. As long as he doesn’t involve my Grandpa, I’m cool.Ever since he had left Vermilion Pack after he rebelled, I hadn't seen or heard from him. But who cared? He was no longer my brother because he ceased to be the moment he plotted against me and the Pack. Right now, I only saw him as my enemy, because he was also a friend to Troy, which made them both my enemies.All the Alphas present had their jaws dropped in shock, while the guests' faces flushed, as the tension in the room charged."I can't believe brothers can hold such hostility towards each other.""The courage Max has to challenge his brother needs to be studied.""I

    Zedex POVThey all stood up and walked behind me. However, Mogan hastened up and caught up with me as we walked side to side deep into Full Mountain Pack.Mogan was silent but kept stealing glances at me, trying so hard to suppress what he had in mind to say. I tilted my head at him, “Speak.” I muttered, increasing my walking pace. Everything was already getting dark, and we needed to get to the heart of the Pack before night fell. There was no sign of birds chirping or the Owls who-whooping on trees.However, it wasn't surprising since the Pack was more careful and well-organized because of the wolf hunter. And about birds and other bush animals, this pack wasn't even a conductive habitat for them because of the Miasma hovering around, which was likewise harmful to their health.“No doubt, Piro was the one that pushed Camila off the cliff, however—“ “You finally joined the missing pieces, goddess right?” I glanced at him and asked. No wonder, I got no reaction from him when I threw

    Zedex POVStrangely, my heart missed a beat as I snapped my neck, turning around. I felt a hard string pulled deep down my soul when I couldn't catch a glimpse of her.I haven't paid much attention to her, ever since we left Vermilion Pack. All through the ride, Grandpa and Mogan’s words kept clashing through my mind constantly, as I tried as hard to suppress them, not let them get to me.Unexpectedly, "Camila." Her name rolled out of my lips, as my eyes widened in terror, darting back and forth in search of her. My heart began beating rapidly, my breath almost choking me.I hastily turned around and began walking back, amidst the guards."Where is she?" My voice came out in a low groan.Instantly, Piro knelt to the ground, bowing. "She-she mistakenly slipped off the cliff and fell." He sputtered, avoiding my gaze.His words were like a dagger stabbing my heart, as my chest tightened. Zov, my wolf, let out a roar deep within, and my eyes flickered colors - amber, gold, and green. He w

    CamilaI felt a sharp, stabbing pain pierced through my chest, and my breath choked in my throat. His words hit me like a crushing blow, leaving my heart reeling. Was he really adamant about sending me to Troy to suffer? Did he really hate me that much, wanting me out of his sight as soon as possible?No doubt, he was truly fulfilling the promise he had made to me on our second encounter. 'It's not so simple to seek death,' he had said coldly. 'Living will be a torment that I will grant you for the rest of your life.' His words sounded loud and fresh in my head as if it were yesterday.Little tears tickled at the corner of my eyes, and I tilted my head away from all gazes, blinking them away. I sniffed in and wiped my face with the back of my hands. At this moment I had to let go of the clingy part of me that desperately wished he would save me like he always did, and take my fate into my own hands.Suddenly, Beta Mogan emerged from behind Alpha Zedex's carriage. I never knew he had

    Camila I opened the curtain again. I stole one last glance outside. My gaze swayed around the small crowd, hoping to see him one last time. Then, I saw him—Alpha Zedex’s Grandfather, standing behind the big pillar. He was away from the rest of the crowd, leaning on his walking stick. Our gaze met, and I felt a throb in my heart.His eyes drooped, his eyebrows furrowed in compassion and sadness as his lips curled downward in a sympathetic smile.He must have been feeling guilty, knowing he couldn't change Zedex’s mind despite his objection. But I wasn't angry, because I understood Zedex’s stubborn nature. His words were rules, and not even his Grandpa could change his mind.As my gaze wandered around the crowd, I felt a pang in my heart as sadness washed over me. Leaving behind the people that genuinely love and care for me was heart-wrenching. My long stay here had been hellish, from one pain to another, but the few people who had comforted me—even when they had no power to change

    CamilaMy heartbeat fastened as I began to feel restless. No doubt one part of me was ready to face any outcome, yet another part of me was scared. I mean, why wouldn't I be? When they were going to drag me to another wolf's den, how would I survive or fight my way out?Thoughts were still flooding in my mind when Madam Gabby and Bianca rushed into the room. Surprisingly, Dixie wasn't with them this time around, and I wondered why. I felt a little sad because I didn't even know when I would see them again or receive their care, which really broke my heart. Because at this point, it felt like my life was hanging on a thread."Holy Goddess!" Bianca exclaimed, her mouth dropped in shock. She squatted in front of me and face-palmed my swollen face. "What the hell happened to your face? Did you fight with a beast?" she asked.Madam Gabby slightly hit her shoulder. "No jokes.""I'm serious," Bianca clarified. "Who did this to her?" She pointed at my face, her face squeezed into a hard fro

    Camila The five guards stood in rows, blocking the entrance of the room. Their gaze landed on me, then averted to Madam Gabby's direction. Instantly, their jaws dropped, and they quickly bowed their heads."Sorry, Madam Gabby. I never knew it was you," one of the guards muttered, slightly raising his head. No doubt, she was highly respected. Who wouldn't? I mean, she was Alpha Zedex's babysitter when he was younger, and the pack must have acknowledged her for that, commanding such respect.These memories made me recall the first time I met her. I could still remember how those fiercely wolves who wanted to attack me the night I attempted to escape quickly withdrew the moment she intervened."Ahem!" Madam Gabby cleared her throat with a low, raspy sound and quickly composed herself to shake off her anxiety; it was clearly written all over her."What are you guards doing here?" she asked, trying to make her voice firm. One of them shook his head."We heard voices inside and ran in to
